[Henry H. Chapman, Port Tobacco, to Colo: John H. Stone,
Annapolis] (P^r favor Mr. Dyson)

I this moment receiv'd a letter from Gen^l Smallwood desiring
me immediately to repair to George Town to join the regiment;
an Application for Money, Clothes &c being necessary have ap-
ply'd to M^r Dyson to transact that Business for me, as affairs here
render my coming impracticable. I shall esteem it a favour if you'll
give him an order for those things which the late appointed Officers
of my Rank are entitled to.

Letter 54

[Dan'l Jenifer, Portobacco, to Gov. Lee.] (By Mr. Luckett)

Enclosed is what I wrote your Ex^cy the 6^th your Letre of the 4^th
did not reach me 'till yesterday and I hope my waiting for Leigh's
Waggon will be a sufP apology for the Goods not being sent sooner,
M^r Ridgate has a Quantity of linnens (but none brown) which he
proposes offering to the Governor and Council — shou'd Luckett want
any forage, I hope the Qu^r Master will be ordered to furnish him,
I believe he will want nothing but Hay, and if there shou'd be any
use for horses I wish the Governor & Council wou'd order the Bay
horse to be retained he is so mischievous I have been obliged to keep
him in the stable for 6 weeks past; he is a good Carriage horse, and
was appraised to £52..10..1, 7 years old
